Block 1: Foundational Skills

Block 1: Foundational Skills focuses on reinforcing the basic marksmanship techniques learned in Block 0 and introducing essential weapon manipulations for defensive shooting scenarios. This training session is not a traditional class but rather an opportunity to work on new or already known skills. Shooters will get out what they put in, and the guidance provided during Block 1 will help shooters develop their skills at their own pace. Defensive marksmanship skills can be applied to multiple weapon systems, and all drills in Block 1 can be scaled to pistol, rifle, or both, allowing shooters to become versatile in defensive shooting scenarios.

At EDT Group, we understand the importance of ongoing training and development for shooters, and Block 1 is an essential step in that process.

We realize that choosing the right gear can be intimidating. For holsters we recommend Saek Holsters (local holster maker) and for firearms we recommend Mill Pond Armory (local gun store).
